At the current point of time I think that \part.1 does not copy the
music expression.  That's pretty bad if you do stuff like

<<
  \transpose c' d' { \part.1 }
  \transpose c' d' { \part.1 }

That's sort of a deal-breaker so I'll address it soon.

Also you cannot use \part.1 everywhere that \partI would work: it's a
subset.  In particular, it won't work very satisfactorily for post
events.  That's not as bad as the first problem: if it doesn't work yet,
it doesn't and one sees it right away.
